We study attitudes towards the introduction of hypothetical new taxes to finance the cost of the COVID-19 pandemic. We rely on survey data collected in Luxembourg in 2020. The survey asks for the agreement of respondents over: a one-time net wealth tax, an inheritance tax, a temporary solidarity income tax, and a temporary increase in VAT. All questions include different and randomly assigned tax attributes (tax rates and exemption amounts). We find a clear divide with relatively high support for new wealth and inheritance taxes on the one hand and a low support for increases in VAT and income taxes on the other hand. While 58% of respondents agree or strongly agree with a one-time tax levied on net worth, only 24% are in favor of a small increase in VAT. Support for any tax is however negatively associated with the size of the tax as measured by the predicted revenues. Our results indicate that a one-time wealth tax could raise substantial revenues and still garner public support. [less ▲]

Au Grand-Duché de Luxembourg, l’Association des Cercles d’Etudiants Luxembourgeois (ACEL) représente actuellement l’un des grands acteurs dans le domaine de l’information sur les transitions entre l’enseignement secondaire et l’enseignement supérieur, d’un côté, et entre l’enseignement supérieur et la vie professionnelle, de l’autre côté. Les campagnes d’information de l’ACEL se basent essentiellement sur ses différentes publications, qui sont mises gratuitement à disposition au public et élaborées en étroite collaboration avec ses cercles-membres et une série de partenaires et collaborateurs du secteur privé et public. Le but est d’informer le plus complètement possible sur toutes les étapes d’une formation supérieure, en commençant par les informations relatives au choix de la branche et du lieu d’étude, suivi par l’accompagnement et l’encadrement pendant les études elles-mêmes et allant jusqu’au passage à la vie professionnelle. Dans le présent travail, nous allons présenter l’ensemble des publications et actions de l’ACEL visant à faciliter ces deux transitions. [less ▲]

We explain in this editorial our updating policies that are designed to adapt to author’s, reader’s and editor’s needs. Using the concept of “updatism”, we also reflect on what it means to sustain a digital project such as the Journal of Digital History within our current digital environment, which is unstable by nature.

Zwischen 1819 und 1824 hatte Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi im Stuttgarter Verlag Cotta eine zwölfbändige Gesamtausgabe veröffentlicht. Diese wurde durch eine Subskription finanziert, wofür zuerst potenzielle Käuferinnen und Käufer geworben wer-den mussten. Der folgende Artikel untersucht mit einer Netzwerkperspektive, wie Pestalozzi bzw. seine Mitarbeiter dieses Projekt umgesetzt haben und wie die verschiedenen Netzwerke, die entscheidend zum Erfolg der Subskription beigetragen haben, zustande gekommen sind.

PUF-based authentication protocol to address ticket-switching of RFID-tagged items

in Proc. 8th Workshop on Security and Trust Management, Pisa, Italy, September 13-14 2012 (2015)

Ticket-switching incidents where customers switch the price tag or bar code in order to pay a lower amount for their ‘purchased item’ is not uncommon in retail stores. Since the item has to pass through a check-out counter before leaving the store, it has a (even if miniscule) positive probability of being identified. However, when item-level RFID tags are used in an automated check-out environment, the probability of such incidents coming to light is estimated to be almost zero. We propose an authentication protocol for this scenario using a pair of item-level RFID tags, one of which is PUF-enabled to resist cloning attacks. [less ▲]
